The Reservations of the Appalachian Mountain Club is a book written by Harvey Newton Shepard and published in 1913.

The AMC was founded in 1876 and is one of the oldest conservation organizations in the United States. The club's primary mission was to preserve and protect the natural beauty of the Appalachian Mountains, and it established a number of reservations and protected areas throughout the region. The Reservations of the Appalachian Mountain Club details each of these reservations, including their location, size, and unique features. The book also includes maps and photographs of the reservations, as well as descriptions of the flora and fauna found in each area. In addition to providing a guide to the AMC's reservations, the book also serves as a call to action for conservation efforts. Shepard emphasizes the importance of preserving these natural areas for future generations and encourages readers to take an active role in protecting the environment.
